A Disgusted Monarch.

TTeNHs SlIIInGa.
1t happens occasionally that even the
most powerful monarchs are unable to ful-
ill their wishes.
On one occasion Alexander the Great,
who was born 1923 b. c., wishing his photo
graph taken, went to the studio OF HeleO-
doros " Bros, on the corner OF Broadway
and Park Place.
Upon making known his wish IIeleo
dorOs called AleXander's attention To thu
fact that photography had not yet been In
vented,
"I forgot all about that" remarked
Alexander; ~ guess III have TO walf

to Stimulate Prices.

W
New YORK, July 19.--The stock market
exhibited even more stagnatlon to-day than
yesterday, and, with the exception OF
short period in the last hour, there was
nothing approaching animation throughout
the day. The tone was heavy, though no
special progress was made In the down
ward direction until the last hour, when
Bismarck was reported dead, which stlmu-
lated the selling. London was moderate
seller In the forenoon, but without effect
upon the market. Room traders are again
Inclined TO the bear side, and such declines
as were establithed were the results Of ham
merng. Union Pacific, st. Paul, and
Louisville and Nashville were weakest In
the forenoon, and the former was especially
prominent In the late break. Recalling,
Richmond and West Point, and Western
Union, however, were comparatively iirm
throughout. There was little or no news
OF q character to affect values, but the re-
with some effect. A few specialties showed
a marked movement, but the general list
was very dull and featureless.
Money on call has been easy at to last
loan at 4, and closing at 4 to Al. Sterling
exchange Is dull but firm. Actual business
at 4s2l to 4s22 for 60-day bills, aud
asst to ASH for demand. Posted rates
